10 tips for Schedule 1

Dealer Assignment Strategy

In the mid-game, optimizing your dealer assignments becomes your primary focus:

1. Proactive Player Configuration: When your business starts growing, follow this dealer strategy:

   • Assign low and medium spending customers directly to your dealers
   • Keep high-value customers unassigned so they contact you directly
   • This approach maximizes profits as you can charge premium prices to big spenders
   • Screenshot the configuration shown in the guide for easy reference

2. Dealer Management Optimization:

   • Don't fill every customer slot for each dealer
   • Leaving strategic gaps ensures high-value customers reach out via phone
   • This method increases both XP and profit margins when you close deals personally
   • Balance dealer assignments based on your preferred gameplay style

3. Lazy Seller Method:

   • Perfect for players who prefer minimal interruptions
   • Assign all customer types (low, medium, and high spenders) to your dealers
   • Creates a fully automated income stream requiring minimal management
   • Keeps dealer inventories moving with consistent cash flow

Dealer Configuration Phase Division

Based on gameplay preferences, dealer configurations can be divided into three key approaches:

Method	Player Type	Priorities	Special Tips
Proactive Config	Active street dealers	Personal deals with high-value customers	Leave gaps in dealer assignments for premium customers
Lazy Seller	Hands-off players	Full automation & consistent income	Assign all customer types to dealers
Teleportation Theory	Min-maxers	Customer preference matching	Requires crafting multiple product variations

Hidden Systems and Secret Techniques

The Teleportation Theory

The game features an advanced dealer system that few players fully understand:

1. Dealers teleport between clients, meaning customer location doesn't matter
2. Configure dealers by customer preference rather than location
3. Assign customers who prefer euphoric products to specific dealers
4. Stock those dealers exclusively with products matching customer preferences

Each preference-matched setup provides unique permanent bonuses:

• Faster sales velocity due to perfect product-customer matching
• Consistently high customer satisfaction ratings
• More efficient inventory management
• Better long-term customer loyalty and repeat business

The 1.4 Pricing Rule

This powerful pricing mechanism is often overlooked by players! The secret to optimal pricing:

1. Take your product's suggested price and multiply it by 1.4
2. This creates the perfect sweet spot for maximizing profits without losing customers
3. You can push to 1.5x or 1.6x, but risk diminishing returns as customers may walk away
4. Your dealers use your pricing configurations from the product app

Most valuable pricing insights:

• Default suggested prices leave significant money on the table
• The 1.4x multiplier works across all product types
• Same effort, significantly more profit
• Consistent sales without alienating your customer base

Inventory Management and Long-Term Planning

Product Packaging Strategy

Efficient product management is essential for dealer success:

1. Package Evolution Path:

   • Start with baggies for early-game flexibility
   • Upgrade to jars as soon as possible (1 jar = 5 baggies)
   • Eventually transition to bricks for maximum efficiency
   • Higher-tier packaging means fewer refills and longer dealer uptime

2. Jar Logic for Time Savings:

   • When customers request 3 baggies via text, negotiate up to 5
   • This allows you to deliver a single jar instead of multiple baggies
   • Saves significant time on packaging and delivery
   • Creates a more streamlined operation with less micro-management

3. Unpackaging Technique:

   • Use the blue arrow at packaging stations to switch to unpackaging mode
   • Allows you to break down packaged products for redistribution
   • Provides flexibility when inventory needs change
   • Perfect for rebalancing dealer stock as market demands shift

XP Progression Optimization

XP Strategy	Special Attributes	Implementation Strategy	Optimal Output
Late Night Meetups	Curfew bonus provides extra XP and cash	Always select late night option when scheduling	Maximum XP per deal
Post-4AM Door Knocking	Customers return home after 4AM	Visit customer homes and offer additional product	Rapid XP accumulation
Personal Selling Focus	Dealers make money but give minimal XP	Balance automated sales with personal deals	Consistent progression unlocks

Advanced Dealer Troubleshooting

Dealer Bug Fixes and Myths Debunked

When your dealers aren't performing optimally, try these proven solutions:

1. The Inventory Slot Myth:

   • Contrary to popular belief, you don't need empty inventory slots
   • Load every inventory slot with products and dealers will function normally
   • Maximizing inventory utilization improves overall efficiency
   • Full inventory allows for longer dealer operation between restocks

2. Dealer Reset Technique:

   • If a dealer appears bugged or isn't selling properly:
     1. Knock them out (temporary solution)
     2. Save your game
     3. Reload your game completely
   • This three-step process resets their AI and fixes most common issues

3. Unlisted Products Technique:

   • Dealers can sell products even if they're not listed in your sales app
   • Hand off extra inventory to dealers to move product quickly
   • Useful for clearing backstock or less popular items
   • Creates additional income streams from otherwise idle inventory

Dealer Efficiency Maximization

Efficiency Factor	Optimal Approach	Primary Benefits	Special Requirements
Product Packaging	Upgrade to highest available packaging	Fewer refills & longer dealer uptime	Level progression unlocks
XP Generation	Personal sales during late night hours	Accelerated progression & unlocks	Active gameplay time investment
Customer Preference Matching	Preference-based dealer assignments	Higher satisfaction & faster sales	More complex inventory management
